    Running new wire to led speakers.

    I have a '`16 Four Winns H190. The speakers were all blown (it came with car stereo speakers, so it honestly looks like they just were damaged by the sun). I am replacing them with kicker marine speakers. I'd like to hook up two of them with LED's. The wiring is fairly simple... I thought maybe...

    Replacement speakers for a 2016 Four Winns H190 SS.

    I have 4 speakers, two in the boat and two firing out the back by the built in chairs. Has anyone replaced speakers in this boat and know the depth/size needed?

    How do I clean bumper marks on fiberglass hull

    The lake is low this year, and I can't seem to get the bumpers high enough. The boat has been bumping into the doc mounted bumpers but they have left a white residue on the hull. I'm new to fiberglass and gelcoat. Any suggestion on cleaners that won't damage the hull?

    What kind of trolling motor for a 16 Sylvan Sport Select?

    The Hull is around 800lbs and it has a 112 SPL Johnson. I'm looking for something I can troll with/get home on a small lake if the engine fails. It's set up for one, but it's a '95 so I'm not sure that the plugs are still valid.

    Four Winns hull strength

    I haven't moored my boat in years. I used to use a screw in mooring at a road end maybe 20 years ago and loved that for the convenience, but it was only on weekends and just required a snubber on the chain to not break away even in heavy waves. So, yes, my lake sounds like it is *way* calmer...

    Four Winns hull strength

    I do struggle with that. From a technical perspective they are neat boats. And I don't want to hinder people from boating or water sports. But their wakes are huge, and the Loons are just really starting to come back on our lake. Their nesting habitats are dependent on some wave free areas.

    Four Winns hull strength

    That's absolutely true. The guy who loved to drive his Sylvan like a 4 person Jet Ski in the 90's is now 50.... ;-) I'm almost always on interior lakes, teaching my son how to drive and the rules of the road. One day he'll drive on his own, and he'll be rougher than I will, but he also knows...

    Are plastic props junk?

    I generally go against the line here, but here goes: On my '95 Sylvan with a 112 SPL Johnson I ran a ComProp for years. It was a plastic composite 4 blad 17" pitch. I'd hit about 40 WOT and was able to tube all my buddies in college with no issues. I had a prop strike once and it took a chunk...

    Four Winns hull strength

    I appreciate it. So far all summer I've not had much water in the boat at all, even on the 'rough' (it sounds like you deal with much rougher water than I'm comfortable with) days I rarely get water in the boat. I do get some water in the ski locker and in the bilge after a full day of water...

    Four Winns hull strength

    Yes, it's all fiberglass. Not sure what they use for the core of the stringers but it isn't wood. I had a glass boat as a kid (well, inherited from my Dad). '69 Larson. The hull itself was really thick but the interior was all wood.

    Four Winns hull strength

    So I have a '16 Four Winns H-190 with the 4.3 MPI. 17 pitch 4 bladed prop because I basically tow all the time with a few people in the boat. At WOT with just the wife and I top speed is about 43. I'm coming from an Aluminum Sylvan, that I bought in my 20's and honestly took alot more abuse...

    Constant 'Two Beeps' from my Four Winns 4.3

    Just an update for all who helped, turned out that both the impeller and the water pressure sensor had gone bad. According to the mechanic engine is still fine, which kind of makes sense to me because it never got hot, or even a bit warm. Nice to have behind me though.

    Is Vessel View worth it?

    Checked that. Checked Power Steering. Checked trim fluid bottle. Engine temp seems good. Oil temp seems good. Fires up and runs okay. I have no clue.

    Is Vessel View worth it?

    I'm working through an issue with my 4.3 MPI alpha one where it's giving a warning beep. I've tried several things (people were very helpful in another thread) but the beeps still aren't clearing. My mechanic, who I like, has said he needs to get it to pull the codes, but he's a week behind...

    Thank you very much for all your help.

    Constant 'Two Beeps' from my Four Winns 4.3

    Thank you again. Can I use just regular power steering fluid for it? Looks like Mercury Marine fluid does both

    Constant 'Two Beeps' from my Four Winns 4.3

    So… what does that switch do? And did the reservoir for the trim look low? I can’t see any marks on the jug.

    Constant 'Two Beeps' from my Four Winns 4.3

    I think this is the power steering pump. Can anyone confirm? Or tell me if it’s low?
